campaign of harassment against him and then-wife Jennifer Aniston after they started a $1 million renovation. “Theroux has established as a matter of law that various aspects of Norman Resnicow’s behavior toward him constitute a private nuisance — an intentional, unreasonable, interference with Theroux’s use and enjoyment of his apartment,” Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Gerald Lebovitz ruled.Theroux, 52, claimed in his suit that Resnicow, 76, had trespassed on his property, peeped into his windows, harassed workers and killed the ivy that grew on their shared roof terrace.Lebovitz previously found Resnicow liable for trespassing on Theroux’s side of the roof deck space.The judge rejected Resnicow’s request for the case not to be decided by a jury — saying Theroux was entitled to have jurors hear the case and that there were open questions for the panel to decide, according to the Monday ruling.In particular, jurors will be tasked with determining the damages to be awarded to the “Mulholland Drive” actor — who the judge said could also seek punitive damages at trial.Theroux — who split from the “Friends” actress in 2018 — is seeking at least $4.58 million in damages at trial.The next court date and a trial date have not been set yet.“The judge left many issues of facts for a jury to resolve and, therefore, we will need a jury trial to resolve them,” Resnicow’s lawyer Peter Levine told The Post Thursday.Levine said he doesn’t know if the case will settle ahead of trial, but noted that prior negotiations had broken down.

in a long-running legal battle over the Ramones, a former business manager for the iconic punk band claimed.Shira Scheindlin — who ruled in 2013 that stop-and-frisk was unconstitutional and was later booted from the case by an appeals court for impartiality — has allegedly shown “outrageous and improper behavior” throughout the dispute between guitarist Johnny Ramone’s widow, Linda Cummings-Ramone, and lead singer Joey Ramone’s brother, who goes by the stage name Mickey Leigh, according to court papers.Lawyers for Leigh wants to vacate Scheindlin’s December decision forcing former business manager David Frey to step down, claiming the jurist lacked jurisdiction. Frey violated the terms of RPI’s agreements when he failed to present deal for a potential Netflix movie about Leigh’s book, “I Slept with Joey Ramone: A Punk Rock Family Memoir,” to the company for approval, Scheindlin found.It took decades for the band, whose four founding members were from Queens, to become a commercial success with its eponymous April 1976 debut going gold 38 years after it debuted.Earlier this year, Frey sued Cummings-Ramone for defamation after she previously accused him of threatening to leak a sex tape of her.“Judge Scheindlin exceeded her bounds and usurped jurisdiction on issues over which she lacked the power to decide,” Frey’s lawyer’s claimed in a January filing seeking to vacate her decision and also accusing her of “often screaming at defense counsel for inconsequential acts.”A transcript included in court records shows Scheindlin chastising Frey’s lawyers for failing to provide evidence ahead of time and for dragging out proceedings.“Ms.

the accused sexual predator is allegedly branded a “monster” with “a lot of similarities” to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.The defamation suit claims that NBC’s parent company and the production company Ample “shamelessly” capitalized on the public’s “insatiable appetite” for Combs content by airing alleged “conspiracy theories” about the fallen rap kingpin in its “Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy” film released on Peacock last month.The doc “falsely, recklessly, and maliciously” accuses Combs, 55, of “murdering” his ex-girlfriend Kimberly Porter, Brooklyn hip-hop legend Christopher Wallace — also known as “Biggie Smalls” or “The Notorious B.I.G.” — and others, the suit filed in Manhattan Supreme Court alleges.The flick “assumes that Mr. Combs has committed numerous heinous crimes, including serial murder, rape of minors, and sex trafficking of minors, and attempts to crudely psychologize him,” Combs’ lawyers wrote.“It maliciously and baselessly jumps to the conclusion that Mr.

the latest chapter of an ugly legal saga between the actor and a real estate lawyer who lives in the floor below him.Theroux, 52, and the rest of the co-op board are urging a Manhattan judge to order Norman Resnicow and his wife Barbara evicted after what the “Mulholland Drive” actor called a campaign of harassment that erupted in 2015 when he and his then-wife Jennifer Aniston began a $1 million renovation on his second-floor apartment.“This is a fairly cut-and-dry case.

having two loaded guns in a Manhattan hotel.“Tell Me I’m Pretty” singer Matthew Shultz, 39, was arrested in January after cops found two loaded guns in his Bowery Hotel room.“Are you pleading guilty because you are, in fact, guilty?” Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Cori Weston asked Shutlz Friday“Yes, Your Honor,” Shultz replied.The rocker pleaded guilty to three charges of attempted criminal possession of a weapon, criminal possession of a firearm, and criminal possession of a weapon.Under the terms of the plea deal, Shultz must “stay out of trouble for one year” and show up for all his court dates, the judge explained.If Shultz does, he can withdraw his guilty plea on the two felony counts and be sentenced to one-year conditional release for a misdemeanor charge, the judge added.But if Shultz breaks the deal, he’s face up to seven years behind bars, the judge warned.Shultz was caught after a hotel worker saw him pull a gun from his pocket in an open part of the hotel.Prosecutors claimed he appeared to be intoxicated at the time.Cops found the two guns in a bag in his room and 11 Polaroid pictures of the weapons — including one with a hand holding and pointing the firearm, prosecutors said.
